Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at fans of medical drama and anyone who loves a strong drama. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters.
What might put you off
  • It's in Dutch, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The men of Chemics International lead a quiet life. However, this is cruelly disrupted by an industrial accident in which a toxic substance is released. Some workers are killed; many others are irrevocably contaminated and may suffer permanent injuries. The management, government, press and unions do not react, seeing this as an unfortunate incident. When one of Herman and Jef's best friends also dies, they have had enough. Together they made an ultimate attempt to reveal the truth to the outside world.
